So I guess it’s time to take stock and gear up for 2009. I don’t do resolutions but I would like to get more of my personal quilting done this year. They’ll still mostly be for donation through HeartStrings but I haven’t pieced as much this year as I would have liked.
Review of 2008

1 – for me
6 – for family
12 – my donation quilts
44 – tops donated to Heartstrings that I quilted.

You’re an inspiration, Mary and I don’t say that to many people. I am constantly impressed by your focus and productivity. You go girl!! I wish I could say that I ONLY had 16 UFOs for 2009 … I swear they multiple in the night and I find more each morning! Thanks for your blog and for all you do!Flatlander (Linda)
Makes my efforts seem pretty pathetic. You are amazing and a blessing to many through your charity quilts.
What an amazing list. I only hope I can finish some UFO’s and get some quilting done for me this year. Keep up the good work. Happy new year. Diane in Alaska
Absolutely amazing!
Holy Cow Mary! I need to go lay down and rest from reading your list. Your an amazing, generous, and very talented quilter. I’m in AWE…AWE I tells ya!
Congratulations on a successful year. Your quilting machine must not be empty very long because on average you are finishing over a quilt a week. That is fabulous and must be very satisfying. Keep up the good work.
That is impressive! Whats more impressive is the records you keep. Great job – and thanks for helping all of our “causes”!
